Interpreter works 24 hours a day

As an interpreter, Santi Evelyna L.G. spends all her time with
her charges. Literally.

"I go wherever they go, in meetings and when they meet other
delegates," Santi told The Jakarta Post.

When asked how many hours a day she spends with them: "I sleep
in the same room as Bu Den Upa," Santi said, referring to Den Upa
Rombelayuk, a delegate representing indigenous people from
Toraja, South Sulawesi.

Santi and her colleague Mardi Minangsari have been appointed
as interpreters to the non-English-speaking representatives of
the indigenous people group from Indonesia.

Respectively they are from the non-governmental organizations
Working Group on Forest Land Tenure and Telapak.
